~My Mom's Favorite Chocolate Chip Cookies~

I am humbled by the number of emails, cards and warm thoughts expressed due to the passing of my dear Mother {in law}. I do loath the "in law' part of that title.

I suspect that there are Mothers-in-law that may be suited to be referred to as 'in law', but mine was not.

Jean was an amazing Mother, wife, sister, friend and Mother {in law}.

Unfortunately my own dear Mother and Jean never met. My Mom passed away just shy of a special visit by my husband's parents soon after we were married.

But Jean and my Mother shared many of the same special qualities of a Mom.

Both of these Moms were incredibly proud of the accomplishments of their children.

Both put family first.

Both were fabulous wives.

Both took great pride in being fit, trim and always 'put together'.

Both of these women enjoyed a great glass of white wine.

Both loved a day of shopping with their daughters.

Both shared the joyful innocence of an infant.

Both of these women could enter a room and leave it speechless.

Both found peace in Sunday Mass.

***

I could go on and on about these two women- the two women that have shaped my life.

The two women that I will be forever grateful for including as my role models.

The two women that will be forever missed and loved beyond measure.

I cannot post this without mentioning my former Mother-in-law.

Yes~ I was married many years ago to a man than has remained a good friend to my husband and me. He is the father of my only son and his dear Mom and I share a wonderful friendship.

I am Blessed with the most wonderful Mothers.
